->'''[[ExperiencedProtagonist Big D]]:''' More than any other supernatural creature, [[TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade Vampires]] DESPISE being unveiled. They relentlessly hunt any breach of their vaunted secrecy with organised and military precision. As such, though I know much, I speak little of it. And sadly, share even less.
->'''Kitten:''' Of course, but surely you can trust your own family.
->'''Big D:''' Trust has little to do with it! Say I share all that I know. Indeed, to truly destroy this foe, we must understand it! But if I do so carelessly... Notice how the conversation started. I carelessly said the word ''Tremere''.
->'''Kitten:''' Yes?
->'''Big D:''' If we were in public, in a restaurant, or on the street, when I had said that... We would very well have to move.
->'''Kitten:''' That's a tad extreme.
->'''Big D:''' And it is necessary. ''The Masquerade'' they call it. To wear a mask of a human. To blend in with us. To convince us their existence is but a fairy tale. Any breach in this Masquerade is a threat to their very existence. For even though they are individually more powerful, they fear mankind more than anything else, for they are few and we are many. Should wider society discover their existence, man might well eradicate them. For while an especially mighty Vampire could slay a hundred mortals, there is a limit to their strength. Few break easily.- but all break. And that is not to speak of their most hated enemy, the sun. Its ancient rays scorch even the eldest of their kind to charcoaled bone. Vampires cannot be rid of their great adversaries, for the sun is beyond their reckoning and humanity vital to their survival. Thus most work to preserve their "Masquerade", hiding in the dark, carefully balanced upon webs of intrigue and murder. To further this end, vampires have many agents. ''Ghouls'' they call them -- mortals grown addicted to the vampiric blood. These half-men gain whisper of their master's power in exchange for fanatical servitude. Unlike their masters, though, ghouls need not slumber by day. [[ParanoiaFuel Their eyes are EVERYWHERE]] and they watch vigilantly for the slightest breach of undead omerta. This is why we [[TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning Hunters]] are responsible for the Vampire threat. We learn as much of the Vampire as we can and spread it, safely, to ensure these parasites become the forgotten myths they pretend to be. Even this is a treacherous task, for we cannot know which parts of our collected vampiric lore are mistaken assumption, the earnest truth, or malignant propaganda.
->'''Kitten:''' I see...
->'''Big D:''' So rest assured! I will teach you what I know! But slowly. They might not blood hunt you for knowing a word or two... But they certainly will if you know their meaning.
->'''Kitten:''' And what is a "blood hunt"?
->'''Big D:''' They'll kill you for knowing what that is too. WHICH IS DUMB because it's kind of just what it sounds like! Every Vampire in the region hunting you, f-for your blood!
->'''Kitten:''' [[SarcasmMode Haaard to figure out]].
->'''Big D:''' BREACH NOT OUR VEIL OF SECRECY! [snort] Vampires are so silly!
